Hoffmann, Georgia Institute as Technology Michael H.G. Hoffmann’s research focuses on the question of how creativity, cognitive change, and learn- ing can be stimulated by constructing diagrammatic representations, and by experimenting with those representations. This idea has first been developed by Charles S. Peirce in his concept of ”diagrammatic reasoning.” Since 2004, he developed ”Logical Argument Mapping (LAM),” a method and diagrammatic system of representation that is supposed to stimulate critical thinking. LAM has been implemented in the
